The lawmakers, behind Reps. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said the Republicans’ border legislation represents a cold-hearted response that will put immigrant children in harm’s way.

“We’re looking at possibly one of the most anti-Hispanic Congresses in generations,” Rep. Joe Garcia (D-Fla.) said at a briefing in the Capitol…

Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (Texas), chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), said the Republicans’ border proposal was part of an “extreme agenda” that will punish the young immigrants; Rep. Xavier Becerra (Calif.), head of the House Democratic Caucus, accused Republicans of “stripping the rights and protections of children”; Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham (N.M.) characterized the GOP bill as “an effort … [to destroy] diversity in this country”; and Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) said GOP leaders embraced “the least common denominator of hatefulness toward the immigrant community” by crafting their bill to win conservative support.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi says a Republican bill to address the surge of unaccompanied child immigrants awaiting deportation “fails to adequately respond to the humanitarian crisis” and amounts to an “unjust, inhumane proposal.”…

Pelosi added, “We must have a heart, and look into our souls to guide us in our treatment of these desperate children.”

“The Republicans want to indiscriminately return children to their death,” he added…

Cardenas was joined by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), who implied that Republicans don’t care about the fate of the children that are returned back to their countries of origin.

“They care about these children so much, that their proposal is to tell them to get out of here just as quick as they can, before they can present their claims that they were trafficked, or that they suffer a return to violence and murder and rape at home,” Doggett said.

The English translation of Serrano’s Spanish remarks:

“If there aren’t the funds that the president wants and the officials on the border want, the situation will get worse. Especially during a period when congress won’t be in legislative session. They think — the Republican Party thinks — that to not give the funds is an opportunity for them to make a political commentary. The only thing it will do, it will increase the crisis, it will increase the human suffering and increase the perception that this country has stopped being one that opens it doors to those in need. And that will create different types of problems.”

On Friday, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) declared that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus speaks for all Democrats on amnesty and immigration.

“Let me make it very clear: the Hispanic caucus speaks for all of us–not just for their caucus members but for the Democratic caucus,” Hoyer said at a Capitol Hill press conference with Hispanic caucus members and other Democrat leaders in criticizing Republicans for not passing a border bill.

The English translation:

They know he’s going to act soon — they want to maintain this crisis to condemn our community, a community without rights for our kids at this moment, our DREAMers, and for millions of others that the president has said he wants to help. That’s what they want. They want to punish our community, and that punishment will be met with an electoral punishment. Be assured that we are not going to forget the mistreatment our community has received.

Wanting the law enforced is extremist now.
Bring it…..when Brennan and McKenna come home with a cough, even the bluest state will revolt.

I’m afraid it’s the parents of these “children” who despise them enough to make them risk their life to glom onto the welfare teat for the family. And no, I do not want these lousy, scabies covered people infesting my community, increasing the crime rate and demanding more and more.
If this is hatred, so be it. I do despise their lawlessness and their contempt for the people of the nation they want to feed off of. I would be just as happy with illegal immigrant children from Europe, Asia or Canada, for that matter.
They would not be going back to their deaths, and I resent that melodrama too.

This sort of histrionic behavior on the House floor makes me favor deportation even more. If the libs were true to their mission, they would greet the illegals with planned parenthood services and long acting contraception, not winge about life.

I used to be a squish on immigration. These racist fuqs have turned me into Atilla the Hun.

I think I was a moderate on the issue just 2 years ago. Secure the border first, then deal with the people here (work permits and being okay with a Dream Act shortly after beginning to secure the border).

I don’t think I’m ok with any legalization now because I know that the waves of illegal aliens will never stop. Likewise, the left will never stop fighting for illegal aliens.

The commonwealth of Virginia has reached a $212,500 settlement with a college student who was arrested and thrown in jail for purchasing water earlier in 2013.

After Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) plainclothes officers staked out a grocery store to catch underage students purchasing alcohol, they arrested University of Virginia student Elizabeth Daly when her sparkling water was mistaken for a case of beer. Daly had been purchasing items such as cookie dough and ice cream for a philanthropy event her sorority was hosting.

“Cookie dough and ice cream for a fundraiser should not put you through an extremely degrading night and afternoon in jail.”

Campus Reform previously reported that Daly, who was 20 at the time, was with two roommates when officers swarmed her SUV and began pounding on the windows. One attempted to break her car window with a flashlight, while another drew out a gun.

Daly sped off, grazing two of the agents with her SUV in the process, and called 911 in a panic. After she was informed by the dispatcher that the plainclothes individuals were officers, she turned her car around and was arrested.

Too late, their families have already done that beyond any compassionate reason.

Precisely. Their families have shown utter disregard for their welfare and are using them as tools to gain goods and services. Or perhaps in the cases of all these adolescents, they just want rid of them!

Too late, their families have already done that beyond any compassionate reason.

Let your kid play in the park alone, go to jail.

Let your kid travel 2,000 miles through a dangerous countries, dealing with drug cartels, coyotes, rapists, corrupt law enforcement officials, with no shelter or safe transportation method, get US citizenship.

All those houses that are owned by banks that were foreclosed on around 2008 are going to make fine homes for multi family dwellings. A three bedroom house that’s empty with running water and electricity can hold 3 families back in Honduras. Those houses here are all over the place. There’s probably one or two on your block or a block or two over. Once getting citizenship, all those new child citizens can be sponsors for their entire families back in the home country.

We’ll look a lot more like Brazil in a few years – just replace Portuguese with Spanish.

Oooooh! We are just really excited about scabies and TB coming to the suburbs.

Obama is trying to murder the middle class. He hates us. Hates the suburbs. He’s a full blown commie but… he black. So he get a pass.

Saw how the UN censured Israel for not giving the ‘Iron Dome’ to Hamas in Gaza. Is the UN unaware that it is technoloogy available on the open market. That Israel has been trying to sell said technology on the open market. Oops, my bad. They said ‘give’.

Be assured that we are not going to forget the mistreatment our community has received.

To the DEMS, we are a bunch of different people. To the GOP, we are one nation. DEMS are trying to divide the country into groups just to win elections and political points. Louis is by far the worst of the bunch. He doesn’t see himself as an American. He only sees himself as a Hispanic in America. His loyalty isn’t to the USA, it is to his heritage. How anyone can’t see that is beyond me.

“What the Republican proposal tried to do yesterday… and what they are trying to do today, is to strip away the rights of a child to live,” said Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-Calif.) on the House floor.

“The Republicans want to indiscriminately return children to their death,” he added…

Cardenas was joined by Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), who implied that Republicans don’t care about the fate of the children that are returned back to their countries of origin.

“They care about these children so much, that their proposal is to tell them to get out of here just as quick as they can, before they can present their claims that they were trafficked, or that they suffer a return to violence and murder and rape at home,” Doggett said.

.
So, in summary :

Republicans want everybody except them to DIE a slow, horrible DEATH …

So, King Putt’s gonna veto, huh?
The rats don’t want this fixed. They want to use this lawlessness to cow Boehner into selling out the country and give the rats a thousand year reign. I know, I know, it won’t last twenty minutes.
Canada, you might want to put some more beavers on the smoker….it looks like we might have to bleed that tree.
